Relay Track Sneak Peeks

 

 

 The sims of the Relay track, most of them, are now open. Charlee Shuftan and I took a trip around. While we don't want to spoil the surprise, we can show a few sneak peeks of what lies ahead.

The Relay Weekend is from Saturday June 10 to Sunday June 11

Still More Relay Track Sneak Peeks

 Work continues on the various Relay builds. At RFL Stage, Silver Howler was working away (since this picture, the place looks a little different).

RFL Spirit was given to artist Fiona Fei to work with, whom made quite a decorative scene.

In RFL Strength, I took a kite for a ride.

And what will be revealed here?

Of the Sunbeamer camp, the main feature will be a game, "The Prince and the Spot Game." 

More to be revealed tomorrow morning, which is the day the Hopefest begins, Wednesday June 9. Saturday June 12 to Sunday June 13 is the day of the Relay Weekend.

Go Relay!

Relay Track Sneak Peeks

 Work on the Relay track continues. While we can't show you entire campsites, yet, we can show you sneak peeks. Here's one from the Sunbeamer camp.

Nance Clowes' exhibit had this character laughing.

The T-1 Radio station, where the music will be played and any discussion heard from.

 One camp had a roller coaster on it. How big is it and what else is there? You'll see.

The Hopefest begins Wednesday June 8, and the Relay Weekend takes place Saturday June 12 to Sunday June 13.

More to come.

Relay Track Update

 With only a few days to go before the Hopefest, and six until the Relay Weekend, the various teams are busy building their campsites. This includes Team Sunbeamers. Located at RFL Celebrate, I can't show much of the camp, yet. But Shockwave Yareach and Cynthia Farshore are constructing a good one. 

Since reaching Sapphire level fundraising late last month, the Sunbeamers have continued to bring in donations. Ĵäηūş Ȥєקんץяɨηє Ⓑɨƙςɨη (Mariru256 Resident) informed the Newser that last night a raffle in behalf of the RFL Sunbeamer team at the Gathering Oak hangout had concluded. Of the ten tickets, the winning one belonged to Crystal Sabre (CrystalAmber69 Resident). The prize was a *HEXtraordinary* Fennec Fox Wanderer (cream). 

As of the writing of this brief, Team Sunbeamers has raised a total of 790,003 Linden dollars.

Meli's Maniacs have also been at work on their campsite.

Looks like someone really put their foot down with this build.

No, they don't work for Santa.

Should we really be afraid, or is the description a "mis-gnomer?" 

The Hopefest begins Wednesday June 8, and the Relay Weekend takes place Saturday June 12 to Sunday June 13.

Go Relay!

Sneak Peeks of the Relay Track

The Relay Weekend is this Saturday and Sunday. While we can't show much yet, we can show a few sneak peeks. Here is one from the Sunbeamer camp.

 Team Steelhead Salmons

Team Meli's Maniacs.

Stand by for more tomorrow.

SL14B Sneak Peeks

It was Press Day at the SL14B today, and while we still can't show anything too revealing, yet, we can show you a few things with a small amount. One this is this flower held up by a metallic hand. A friendly greeting perhaps? You might want to see the whole thing before judging.

 Maybe chickens do fly, or in this case giant chickens.

Going into the light, so to speak. And what exactly is this road between two lines of building-like builds lit up by such bright light? You'll find out tomorrow June 18 at Noon when the SL14B finally opens.

Addition: Later on in SLB chat, someone remarked, "Someone tell Bixyl that a phoenix is not a chicken." I had been wondering why it was so big.

SL14B Sneak Peeks

The SL14B is just a couple days away. Before the sims were closed to exhibitors, I did some last minute adjustments on the Newser exhibit with Silvia Ametza. Then I went about the sims some. At one point, I went about in this balloon ride over the area.

 A stairway just inside the entrance of the SL14B Auditorium, where a number of discussions will take place, including some "Meet the Lindens" events.

Among the exhibits in the SL14B grounds is "Cassini's Grand Finale," by the Leeward Cruising Club, showing the Cassini Saturn probe in the final part of it's mission, "This exhibit shows the Cassini orbiter in the final part of its 19-year Saturn exploration mission. "Come explore the full-scale model then explore the seas of Second Life ...." In September, assuming the spacecraft is still operational, it will plunge into Saturn's atmosphere.

All these, and much more, await visitors this Sunday, June 17.
